Emergency procedures proposed for Linn County detention center
The Linn County Youth Facilities committee urged the Linn County Board of Supervisors to adopt medical and law enforcement response steps for youths at the detention center. A 16 year old diabetic's insulin episode and subsequent escape spurred the plan. The proposal calls for reviewing medical records on referral, doctor led emergency guidelines, and coordination with authorities if care cannot be provided onsite. Dr. Julianne Thomas becomes consultant physician replacing Dr. Richard Louvar.
